William F. Stafford, Jr. completed his Ph.D. in anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley with a dissertation on how autorickshaws, meters, and apps format transactions as technologies of the “public” in Delhi, India. He is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Visual Studies at the University of Toronto Mississauga and a Research Affiliate of the Ethnography Lab at the University of Toronto St. George. His current project takes up the autorickshaw meter’s panic button to explore architectures of “sequester,” “anonymity,” and “forensics” as genres of governance and sociality.
